中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2022年11月24日报道，美国钻井网站Rigzone日前引述全球著名能源咨询公司伍德麦肯兹（WM）的一份新报告称，到2030年前，全球深水油气产量将增长60%，届时将占全球上游油气总产量的8%。
超深水油气产量将继续以极快的速度增长，到2030年前将占到所有深水油气产量的一半。在石油和天然气勘探与生产(E&P)行业中，深水定义为水深大于1000英尺，超深水定义为水深大于5000英尺。
深水油气生产仍是上游油气部门油气产量增长最快的部分，预计今年油气日产量将从1990年的30万桶油当量增至1040万桶油当量。WM预测，到2030年底前，这一数字将超过1700万桶油当量。
美国石油和天然气巨头埃克森美孚公司是最新一家在深水发现油气资源的石油巨头。上个月，埃克森美孚公司宣布在圭亚那近海斯塔布鲁克区块的Sailfin-1和Yarrow-1井又获得了两个新石油发现，使斯塔布鲁克区块自2015年以来的新发现数量超过30个。
埃克森美孚公司透露，Sailfin-1井在水下4616英尺处钻遇了312英尺厚的含烃砂岩，而Yarrow-1井在水下3560英尺处钻遇了75英尺厚的含烃砂岩。
埃克森美孚公司没有透露其对新发现的原油或天然气储量的估计数，但上调了此前对该地区较早发现的第三季度产量的预测。
这家美国超级石油巨头以“远远超过行业平均水平”的速度推动圭亚那海上的油气开发和生产。 埃克森美孚公司在圭亚那批准的两个海上项目，丽莎一期和丽莎二期，目前石油产量超过了设计能力，平均日产量接近36万桶。这家美国超级石油巨头预计，到本十年结束前，圭亚那的石油日总产量将突破100万桶。
埃克森美孚公司表示，其在圭亚那的第三个项目Payara项目预计将在2023年底前启动，而第四个项目Yellowtail项目可能会在2025年投产。
埃克森美孚公司是斯塔布鲁克区块的运营商，持有该区块45%的权益，其合作伙伴美国赫斯公司持有30%的权益。埃克森美孚公司今年迄今的油气产量远低于历史最高水平，年中的平均日产量为370万桶油当量，与去年持平，但比2016年的410万桶油当量低了近9%。

Deepwater Oil And Gas Production To Grow 60% By 2030
Deepwater oil and gas production is set to increase by 60% by 2030, to contribute 8% of overall upstream production, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie, as cited by Rig Zone.
Ultra-deepwater production is set to continue growing at breakneck speed to account for half of all deepwater production by 2030. In the oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) industry, deepwater is defined as water depth greater than 1,000 feet while ultra-deepwater is defined as greater than 5,000 feet.
Deepwater production remains the fastest-growing upstream oil and gas segment with production expected to hit 10.4 million boe/d in 2022 from just 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in 1990. Wood Mackenzie has predicted that by the end of the decade, that figure will pass 17 million boe/d.
U.S. oil and gas major Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) is the latest oil major to make a deepwater oil and gas find. Last month, Exxon announced that it had made two more discoveries at the Sailfin-1 and Yarrow-1 wells in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana, bringing discoveries>Exxon revealed that the Sailfin-1 well was drilled in 4,616 feet of water and encountered 312 feet of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone, while the Yarrow-1 well was drilled in 3,560 feet of water and encountered 75 feet of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone.
Exxon did not disclose how much crude oil or gas it estimates the new discoveries to contain, but hiked a previous output forecast for the third quarter from older discoveries in the region.
The supermajor has boosted development and production offshore Guyana at a pace that "far exceeds the industry average”. Exxon’s two sanctioned offshore Guyana projects, Liza Phase 1 and Liza Phase 2, are now producing above design capacity and have already achieved an average of nearly 360K bbl/day of oil. The supermajor expects total production from Guyana to cross a million barrels per day by the end of this decade.
Exxon said a third project, Payara, is expected to launch by year-end 2023 while a fourth project, Yellowtail, could kick off operations in 2025.
Exxon is the operator of the Stabroek block where it holds a 45% interest while partners Hess Corp. (NYSE: HES) hold a 30% interest, respectively. Exxon’s oil and gas production are well below record levels, averaging 3.7M boe/day at midyear, in-line with last year but nearly 9% below 4.1M boe/day set in 2016.
